Keep Those Legs a Churning

Rain predicted for our usual area, but Edgar and I headed south to avoid it.



Garmin Connect Ride Data

The Ride: Like the old days Edgar and I pushed the pace at the Comet and if were not for the foot traffic and road crossings we could of had a fantastic finishing average in speed. I still ended with an 18.9 mph speed and a 0.85 IF, which is pretty good in my view and is a bit more intense effort that I typically do on the longer group rides.

Group: Me and Edgar

Route Description: Flat pedestrian and bike path

Nutrition Intake During and after the Course: (3/4) 24oz. bottle with Hammer Heed/10grams Glutamine and BCAA's, (1) Accel gel, (1)Post Ride 30gram whey protein drink

Weather: Heavy clouds to partly sunny with a slight breeze. Very slight sprinkles of rain, but barely enough to get the glasses wet.

Training Goal: Since the threat of heavy rain was in the forecast I was just happy to get outdoors for a ride and was very happy with the intensity effort.

Bike and Gear Used: LOOK 585, Garmin 705, Powertap Power Meter.
